Hi all, I'm considering using RMI for developping a network for a MMORPG, do you think it is a good idea?

I've tried a few examples that work using my localhost address, but they don't work anymore when I use internet addresses, I got a TimeOutException after 5 minutes, it seems that the programs gets stucked at the line: Naming.rebind("rmi://84.234.141.646/RMITest",object);

(3)RMI depends upon serialization which is a very inefficient way to try to transfer small bits of information. It is also very expesnive to both pack and unpack the information as comapred to a simpel packet protocol.
